Ray Benson nails down the essential techniques of this exciting hybrid of country, jazz and blues. To solidify your rhythm playing, Ray dissects Eldon Shamblin's traveling bass lines and Freddie Green's comping and damping methods. Then he shows how to create hot lead lines and apply them to well-known western swing tunes, such as "Faded Love," "Take Me Back Back To Tulsa," "Roly Poly," "Redwing," "Fat Boy Rag" and "Milk Cow Blues." Hearing Ray trade licks with the legendary Johnny Gimble is an added treat.
